![]() The instruction for that is in the Link I posted "If LW will not Connect" Post #7. AFAIK there really is no way to contact LW. You can send an E-Mail I think. Go to your Pro Support Page. I think it's there somewhere. You might try here www.limewire.org. as this is the LW Forum. Not to sure How much help is over there. Also noticed Trend IS 2008 has a two way Firewall. Have you configured it to give LW Full Access ?? |

Sometimes a combination of these ideas works http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html as it has for me even recently. Sometimes too many incomplete files can crowd out LW from connecting properly. There may be other reasons, but at a guess UPnP is not communicating properly between LW & your modem/router because too many signals being sent out at the time LW is trying to connect, be it due to incomplete files, OOB, Ultrapeer settings, etc. If still no good; System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) would give us some clues. ![]() BTW Pro support is very slow dare I say it. BTW do you know what 'fake' files are? Can you recognise them? They tend to crowd the connection & best deleted if recognised. |

Use the Add/Remove control panel to remove all versions of Java. Then install the 'OFFLINE' version of java about 15 MB in size; Download Java software from Sun Microsystems; use Crap Cleaner or Windows Cleanup after removing Java too. ![]() Delete your LW preferences folder, found here Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) Or Vista, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html Reinstall LW using 'this' version http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe You may need to remove your previous LW firewall rule in windows firewall & re-add it, maybe not. ![]() |
